AEA/Superintendent’s iPod Project in Partnership with Audible.com Books
Goal:
To provide learning opportunities to superintendents and the AEA leadership team that promotes leadership development through technology by providing common professional reading activities with the use of iPods.
A number of AEAs are participating in this project, although participation and implementation may vary according to AEA.
Activities:
1. Each Superintendent receives an Audible.com account pre-loaded with 5 audiobooks.
2. Accounts are pre-loaded with several book titles (agreed upon by leadership team), in digital audio format
3. Titles are downloaded from the account iTunes software installed on a computer (Mac/PC)
4. Books may be played from the computer or synced to an MP3 player or iPod for mobile use
5. Participating Superintendents will be asked to provide feedback via a survey in the spring
IPods are checked out to project participants for long-term use. Media Center iPods are checked out to district or building leadership teams on a shorter-term basis to support book studies under the superintendent or AEA leadership direction. These iPods are pre-loaded with the same books that the project is supporting. Participating Superintendents may keep the AEA13 iPod for as long as they are in-area and using the audible accounts for continued leadership development. Or, they may use their own iPod or MP3 player.
iPod Book Study Support for Superintendents!
